I am using an ORM which generates large amounts of files from a CLI. Is there an easy way to run the svn add
on all files within a directory which appear as ?
when I run svn status
?
Edit These files exist in a directory tree so adding *
for one directory will not work.

I am a newbie to svn version control. However, for the case when people want to add files without ignoring the already set svn:ignore properties, I solved the issue as below
The above steps worked.
On Alpine Linux OS I used this, based on others answers:
svn st | grep ^? | sed 's/? *//' | xargs -I fn svn add "fn"
Among bash one-liner I think this is the prettiest:
svn status | tee >(awk '/^?/{print $2}' | xargs -r svn add >&2) | awk '/^!/{print $2}' | xargs -r svn delete
It will add all new files and delete all missing files. Use with caution, possibly set an alias for quick access.
NOTE for Macs: in xargs -r
is a GNU extension: it might not be supported. In that case just remove it and ignore warnings when there are no files to add or to delete
You should be able to run:
svn add *
It may complain about the files that are already under version control, but it will also add the new ones.
You may want to think about whether or not you really want to add these generated files to version control, though. They could be considered derived artifacts, sort of like the compiled code, and thus shouldn't be added. Of course, this is up to you, but its something to think about.
This add all unversioned files even if it contains spaces
svn status | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | xargs -i svn add "{}"
svn status | grep "^\?" | awk '{ printf("\""); for (f=2; f <= NF; f++) { printf("%s", $f); if (f<NF) printf(" "); } printf("\"\n");}' | xargs svn add
This was based on markb's answer... and a little hunting on the internet. It looks ugly, but it seems to work for me on OS X (including files with spaces).
The solution
svn status | grep ^? | sed 's/? //' | xargs svn add
does not work with whitespaces. Instead one can use
svn status | grep ^? | sed 's/^? //' | xargs -I fn svn add "fn"
(seems like the number of leading blanks is different on my system -- just adjust it).
svn add *
should do the job. Just make sure to:
svn commit
afterwards :)
If svn add whatever/directory/*
doesn't work, you can do it the tough way:
svn st | grep ^\? | cut -c 2- | xargs svn add
This will add all unknown (except ignored) files under the specified directory tree:
svn add --force path/to/dir
This will add all unknown (except ignored) files in the current directory and below:
svn add --force .
I like these commands as they use svn status
to find the new or missing files, which respects files that are ignored.
svn add $( svn status | sed -e '/^?/!d' -e 's/^?//' )
svn rm $( svn status | sed -e '/^!/!d' -e 's/^!//' )
In some shells like fish you can use the **
globbing to do that:
svn add **
For reference, these are very similar questions.
These seem to work the best for me. They also work with spaces, and don't re-add ignored files. I didn't see them listed on any of the other answers I saw.
adding:
svn st | grep ^? | sed 's/? //' | xargs svn add
removing:
svn st | grep ^! | sed 's/! //' | xargs svn rm
Edit: It's important to NOT use "add *" if you want to keep your ignored files, otherwise everything that was ignored will be re-added.
svn status | grep "^\?" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add
Taken from somewhere on the web but I've been using it for a while and it works well.
